aftermarket exhaust for 2011 Grand Sport
I have a 2011 grand sport with the paddle shift automatic, and am looking at aftermarket exhaust systems. Not looking for a loud system, but something that will sound good without increasing interior noise levels very much. Is there a system that would for me... and would an aftermarket system negate the factory warranty?

Have a look at the new design Borla S-Type II, or maybe the Touring more to your liking. Corsa Sport also very popular and not too agressive. Both with little or no-drone. Check out sponsoring vendor(s) for details and links or go Borla website for cool descriptive video with Grand Sport installed systems on Bondurant Cars. Also YouTube. The GS has an OEM X-pipe. No way a cat- or axle back would affect warranty. Their just a muffler set. Lots of choices and opinions. Good luck hunting.

I installed the Flowmaster Force II axle-back system on my 2012 A6 Coupe. I really enjoy the sound, and IMO it's hard to beat for the price. There's resonance or "drone" from 1400 to 2100 RPM, but nothing I can't live with. I'll get a video/audio capture this evening and try and post it to give you at least some idea what it sounds like, but it has a very deep quality and isn't loud enough to bother friends/neighbors.

While I have the NPP option on my '12, I have always loved the Flowmaster sound.

Other than sound, Is their any benefit or improved performance? I have '08 with Halltech Super bee CAI and Kooks 1 7/8" into 3" catted x pipe and a good Tune into stock non NPP cans..RWHP 397..will Corsa/B&B/ Borla really improve that?
